Does WHM use perl

I am running a RH7.3 machine with WHM 4.8.0.
I was wondering if WHM/Cpanel depended on Perl being installed. Perl is installed through rpm on my system and i want to remove it and install from source. However i dont want to render my WHM/Cpanel useless by doing so.

Can i remove perl without affecting WHM/Cpanel?

Do you mean mod_perl?? Mod-perl can be removed without any problems. Removing mod_perl does not even mean that you will have the inability to run perl scripts.

if i uninstall the rpm based perl and install it from source will WHM/Cpanel work?

is there a list of perl modules that WHM/Cpanel depends on?[/quote:406d2184fd]
If you remove Perl from your system those scripts which are using Perl couldn't be run then cpanel would not work properly.

For a list of Perl modules refer to https://yourdomain.com:2083 and click on installed Perl modules at the main screen
